hi Everybody. I really some honest feedback from anyone who reads my essay. The prompt for the USC short essay is : Describe your academic interests and how you plan to pursue them at USC. Please feel free to address your first- and second-choice major selections.

Every time an airplane flew pass my house, I would run outside and admire it in awe. Born scientifically inclined, I was, and still am, fascinated by aerial transportation. Many a time, I would construct origami paper planes, build space shuttle models and even design rockets on my computer. My passion for aeronautics kept on expanding while growing up and not just boxed up at home. During Secondary School, I volunteered in a Rocket Launching Competition. The exposure and experience I receive bolstered my interest even more.

I intend to major in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Aerospace. Having one of the nation's best engineering programs, the University of Southern California's engineering curriculum has won me over. I look forward to courses such as AME 308 Computer-Aided Analysis for Aero-Mechanical Design which ties technology with design. Moreover, knowledge is at every corner in USC. With 23 libraries filled with thousands of books at USC, I bet my mind will never go hungry again. If admitted to the University of Southern California, I look forward to joining the Design/Build/Fly team to expose myself to real-world applications of aeronautics. With multifarious resources at USC and a diverse student body, I bet I will learn new and interesting things every day while maturing as a worldly engineer.

I used a magnet to attract all the pins and needles that fell on the carpet. Born scientifically inclined, I was, and still am, fascinated by the world around me. Many a times, I would solve my problems with a scientific and systematic approach. My interest in science and technology expanded with my first personal computer. The possibilities were endless.
